this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshing welcome to the program rupert murdoch some data media empire news corp has announced that it's dropping its bid to take control of britain's largest satellite broadcaster the move is intended to head off public outrage over allegations that several of his newspapers were engaged and rampant stone having a scale has grown to include the british government and police officials who stand accused of complicity and corruption across the atlantic shocked us senators are calling for a probe into allegations that nine eleven victims were also targeted by murdoch's newspapers as artie's lore and it reports the medium old will's rise over the decades offered plenty of warning signs over what was to come. rupert murdoch's push to expand in british media has come to

a halt public and political rage over phone hacking his fourth news corp to drop its b. to buy satellite broadcaster b. sky b. but some say he's already killed the british press and they were saying it's far back as nine hundred eighty one that's when he went on a media spending spree and bought amongst others the world renowned times newspaper news international has been playing a toxic part of our public life for so long but it worked under his ownership circulation just kept on rising in a market that killed authors and sky t.v. a loss making and obscure satellite network rocketed to become the biggest player in the u.k.'s pay t.v. market i do admire rupert murdoch because he's a risk taker when he was at the times and sunday times of london the newspaper business was absolutely in peril in the u.k. mostly because of the unions and because of some other economic factors in turn that around. basically there are people who will say that he saved the newspaper

industry in london because of the whopping revolution in one thousand nine hundred six but now it's clear that success came with a heavy price tag morality murdoch's journalists kept the ratings high by violating and exploiting the goneril they hacked the private voice mails of families of dead soldiers and of murdered children essentially we've seen criminality and invasion of privacy on a staggering into scale not even the rich and powerful could escape then chancellor gordon brown's baby was splashed over the front page of the sun his illness a sick headline royal family phones were hacked the scandal even goes right to the heart of the police force senior police officers were bribed by journalists for tipoffs on sensitive investigations private lives were made public. now we've got. to be somehow to gordon brown's private life you have to so you have to start

wonder what else is in. a lot of us not just. what we call bloggers these are people ploy to information what should be private so. it's taken thirty years for the worst fears about the british press to come true but come true they have murdoch may own successful newspapers in an ailing market but their papers which have lost their greatest asset the public's trust the u.k. has more c.c.t.v. cameras per person than anywhere else in the world i've counted eight just in this small car park so britain's always know big brother is watching but the question now is what's big brother watching for and more importantly who's trying to bribe him lower and it. wasn't a lie from moscow still had for you this hour europe's struggle to keep the euro

flow takes another hit as the world's eighth largest economy wakes up to the reality it's deep in debt. and israel's prime minister has to step up in advance of an anti boycott bill which aims to support settlers but has been dubbed an affront to democracy. police have made a first arrest in connection with russia's worst ever voting disaster and detained the owner of a company that branded out of bulgaria cruiser and a person who certified of fit for sale meanwhile divers are set to conduct a final search of the vessel looking for the remaining twenty four bodies of a long hundred thirty people believed killed and the tragedy r.t. some bargain is a sight for us. the first two arrests have been made in the ongoing criminal investigations the first is said lana in new york in her she's been arrested because she was the owner of the company that rented a gold daria pleasure boat for its final cruise and it's thought that she may have

known about the poor condition of the ship when she made that decision to rent the second is yaakov eva sure he is a state shipping expert and he cleared the ship as fit to sail some time ago and is thought that he may have been negligent in making that decision they will stay in detention for around a month to be questioned and then the case will go on from there to the emergencies ministry here on the volga bank and the divers that are going out to the platform above the sunken bowl guerrier they say their final effort is going to be made now to try and recover the last twenty four bodies. from from the ship and however there may be some complications with that they're hoping to finish sometime later today possibly around midday but they think that they've searched most of the ship and they haven't found all of these twenty four bodies so if they're not on the

ship they may be in the water around the ship a worst case scenario maybe to some of them when the ship sank people may have unfortunately drowned in their bodies being carried by the current to worst estimate up to two hundred kilometers downstream so the search area may have to be increased for them but they're hoping to finish this search so that two special ships that have come up from border guard further down the river can start the operation later on to try and raise the ball guerrier from the bottom of the volga and when they can see the ship up in the open air they can try and work out why the ship sank and why it sank so fast leading to so much tragedy martin reporting there were on russia's worst accident on our web site log on to our to our camera and watch exclusive footage by divers searching the ship rack on the bottom out of all the river. and that interview with

a former captain of the doomed ship who says it was in no condition to single long before the sinking. to other stories now here in our t.v. russia asked proposed and new step by step strategy towards iran nuclear program the idea suggests making limited concessions to iran if it goes along with that man's the international community the statement comes after talks between the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov during his visit to washington the two also touched upon campaign with lavrov saying russia has less disagreement on the matter with the u.s. and with some european countries but as our reports some bilateral issues still face certain difficulties. with regards to leave both russia and the u.s. have the view that colonel gadhafi must step down and that the leaders should be able to choose their future leader it's the path towards those aims that moscow and washington disagree on the means if you will pressure criticizes the scope of the

into the foreign intervention in libya possible sees the actions of the allied forces the forces there as a violation of the u.n. mandate and it's a lever outside the resolution is being wrongly interpreted as anyone can do whatever they want for a minister was also asked about why russia is blocking a u. and initiative to condemn the syrian president assad he said the attitude of the west is exclusively about exerting pressure on one of the parties namely the syrian government and president all side of moscow sees this as sees it as the wrong attitude where she says it sends the wrong message to the syrian opposition prompting them to believe that if they were being insistent in the situation keeps getting critical of the west will come to help them the way it is happening in libya mr lavrov said it's unacceptable that the opposition resort to violence agitating peaceful protesters into engaging in armed clashes and effectively turning them into targets of the police and security forces take a listen. you know it's as it was you know that diplomacy exists not to condemn and

score political points diplomacy exists to solve problems and you get condemnation without proposing any solution won't lead us to any breakthrough either in syria nor in any other place there is a good example of how we are all dealing with the situation in yemen no one's trip a reason to condemn anyone or until the u.n. security council resolution supporting monitoring are there signs everyone is urging them to science deceive down and hold negotiations dance a responsible approach that we hope will prevail well on bilateral issues there have been some agreements and disagreements as usual the top diplomats mainly focused on agreements both pointed out the positive and constructive mode in which the cooperation between the two countries is going on many issues in the last question the u.s. of which that landmark deal on arms reduction to deepen cooperation on afghanistan and have gone forward in preparations for russia's accession into the world trade organization the obama administration is all for it and hillary clinton has once

again stressed the american leadership support for russia joining the w keil also they have signed the long awaited agreement on adoption after scores of horrible incidents involving russian children mistreated by their adoptive parents in a number of cases murdered by russia to stress the need for an agreement to have better oversight over how the children are treated in their new families and the deal finally came through the point in vision there include of bad independent adoption adoptions will only be conducted via licensed agencies also the agreement states that all foster children from russia will retain their russian citizenship until they reach legal adulthood that it's very important as the agreement states that applicable laws from both countries will be used to add adoption related trials up until recently the americans they'd not want to hear anything about taking russian laws into account now as for disagreements america's. defense plans

is one of the most irritating issues in the relations between the two countries you could sense that both foreign minister lavrov and secretary of state clinton preferred not to go into details and talk much by disagreements but nevertheless we know that there has been discussions behind closed doors president obama has scrapped the bush administration missile defense plans but they're going ahead with a new plan for minutes a lot of rob said russians need for a legally binding guarantees that the project will not threaten russia's security washington has made reassuring statements before but moscow needs to have it on paper so there is an understanding among the russians that words are good but words in a legally binding document are better but again no specific comments on that yet. recording there and we're here live for you twenty four seven but for even more news and videos just go to our website artsy dot com here's a taste of what's online right now. find out why a modern man's to the first man in space you are a good gardener will be unveiled right of the very heart of london. and it's

market why not. why not what's really happening to the global economy with my challenger a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. cars report on r t. the latest was really really struggling to.

keep. this is r.t. the currency crisis gripping the e.u. has taken a terrine for the worse is italy spurred by a string of ruinous market downturns against debate emergency spending cuts at two trillion dollars the world's largest economy has been struggling to remain competitive since joining the eurozone but it's dad has fire old out of control with the fact overlooked by manny amid the more pressing problems in the e.u. it follows a downgrade of ireland's debts to junk status a serious blow to the eurozone as a bailout ridden walk labors to prop up its weakest economies u.k. and we peep all the tall told our team the latest developments prove this. single

currency is simply not working. so this was always about politics it was not all economics the idea that you could have economies in the mediterranean in line with economies like germany fast growing economies like germany was never going to read the only great to get out of this mess is for those countries to go back on their national currencies devalue their growth moving. to exports killing another moment because that is their debt because they couldn't see these are controlled by frankfurt controlled by the european central bank they're not controlled by athens or listen or even talk of the people out on the streets in athens i just wonder how long it will be before the people out in the streets in rome run in lisbon and into this thing is contagious this thing will move right across the continent specifically in the mediterranean the big issue now facing the european union italy and italy is the third largest economy in the eurozone is based largest economy in the world i think the eurozone can actually cope with greece and portugal the

smaller economy if italy goes the whole thing could cave in because italy goes italy's economy is intertwined with spain and spain and this illegal then we are in serious trouble the euro is inextricably to the whole project and it's linked to the european union if the eurozone goes i quite frankly can see this whole thing breaking go is right there so. that's why this is desperate to say that we in the u.k. or for that will pay a lot of the only way for these countries to survive is to break out of this prison which is the euro zone. and as the e.u. struggles to preserve the euro and bring its wrong way down under control our g.'s max kaiser and stephen herbert discussed whether italy's gold reserves might be making it a target a kaiser report is coming your way next hour here's a preview for a four hundred dollars ago italy is the second biggest position in the euro zone and that's the mother lode that i think that's been the target all along the green the ireland portugal those are side shows there are little micro countries not much

the bill. doesn't damage a very severely to freedom of speech where the goal of the settlements in the key quite clearly tollways is completely completely danger was to the future wolf. any chance of peace between us and the palestinians and we have been calling for in these early probably since nine hundred ninety seven and you seeing in the supermarkets which comes from these settlements because buying this for books news is helping the set of those making them stronger. something to be made them a political action to express their citizens explicitly what's the word they believe in it is a very big blow it is really democracy and it's making the. democratic state i hope we can not get to the fall where we have this fresh install another kind of people sheeple but it is a very very good for anybody who kills about the future wolf is

for helping cause the crisis by stirring up a lot however some analysts suggest this means they're doing a good job. the ratings agencies quite justifiably came in for a lot of criticism during the global financial crisis they were accused of being over up the mistake they were taking some fairly generous assumptions about ability to repay there were sometimes overlooking some fairly fatal flaws in some derivative structures but it's fair to say i think most reasonable people would agree that perhaps the ratings agencies did contribute to the global financial crisis however i think there's been a notable improvement in standards over the course of the last two or three years and the fact that the ratings agencies now are actually getting so much criticism from european finance ministers probably suggest that doing the job rather well. move to the markets now and while is trading near a four day high after signs of a rising crude demand in the u.s.
